I would bet my life that costs would be lower. Insurance middleman in everything drives up the cost a lot due to so many overheads involved.
Nothing about this changes the code quality and maintenance status.

I'm not saying that it's dead, worse it's hard to use, bad and unreliable.

Can you answer why large companies are still using Cobol, if it's so "dead"?

Legacy, lack of alternatives, managers that don't have technical expertise but that fall for the marketing.

The semantic web, MASSIVELY overpromises, and MASSIVELY under-delivers. Both truly in a "web-scale" way.
A 300mm telephoto lens gives a narrower field of view than the standard eyeball, making objects in the field of view seem packed closer together. A 24mm wide-angle lens gives a wider field of view, making objects in the field of view seem farther apart. ("Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"? Yeah, same thing.) Both can be used for artistic effects as well as being dishonest. (I really like a 150-200mm lens for portraits; for one thing not having the camera and photographer nearby makes people look more natural.) A good match for the eye is a 50mm "standard" lens. (All lens sizes are for 35mm cameras; I don't remember what the correction factor is for my DSLR's CCD.)
Well, the question remains then. Definitely they are not beyond question. There is a traceable lineage of questionable machines leading right up to the region where vote fraud allegations through electronic vote machines. Enough that a decent look by a disinterested party is warranted.
Huh? Webtransport isn’t trying to compete with webrtc. It’s a server/client protocol not a p2p protocol. And it’s not designed with video conferencing in mind like webrtc is. Webtransport is trying to be a better alternative for websockets with support for h2/h3 and unreliable delivery.

> WebTransport assume a 100% browser world.

Webtransport should work anywhere that http is available. There’s nothing browser specific about it.
You make it sound as if GPT-3 is just the same GPT-2 model with some extra Enterprise-y features thrown in. They're completely different models, trained on different data, and vastly different sizes. GPT-2 had 1.5B parameters, and GPT-3 has 175B. It's two orders of magnitude larger.

Sure, both models are using the same structures (attention layers, mostly), so it's a quantitative change rather than a qualitative change. But there's still a hell of a big difference between the two.

"Transparency is one of our core values" - BULLSHIT !!
The quote that shows up in several of those links:

"I’m no longer engaging with white people on the topic of race. Not all white people, just the vast majority who refuse to accept the existence of structural racism and its symptoms."

It sounds like you have answered the above poster's question about how to join in: by "accept[ing] the existence of structural racism and its symptoms".

> The word "planted" implies that an idea with no basis in reality was put into this person's head.

As I explain in my post, it cannot have basis in reality due to the provable existence of democratic decisions in favor of POC that have not merely included white voters, but often were comprised of a majority of white voters.

To say that someone is telling whites to "shut up" is to misrepresent your own cited headlines: "shut up and listen". If someone wants you to listen, it is self-evident that they want your help. You don't ask someone to listen if you don't care what they think or what they do. If someone in need asks another for help, the very first thing they will want to do is have the other person listen to what they need. And if someone is telling someone else to shut up so they can ask for help, that suggests that they think their cry for help is being drowned out.
As long as the price keeps going up, there's no bag to hold yet in this metaphor. We're still at the part of the heist where the vault is being emptied.
Can anyone tell me why SEC won't just step in, suspend trading, and force some kind of resolution? Its obvious that the market has been effectively broken by the short sellers. It might just make the redditors more angry and likely to hit other shorted stocks, and possibly cause markets to decline, but its the best applicable solution i see.

But what they're trying to achieve here (AFAIK) is a short squeeze. The whole point of this move is that there's massive short interest in GME, and the WSB crew (and anyone else long on it) can take advantage of it until those positions are closed.

After that, if people hang around, sure they'll likely lose money if they bought at the top, but until those big positions close, there's money to be made.
I work in the healthcare advertising space. Let me know if you need some help in that area. My email is in my profile.
In this case, isn't the barrier to entry itself regulatory? The drug approval process stops new entrants and federal law stops consumers from buying drugs from other countries. Otherwise, I imagine there would be a pretty robust market, given that these are generics and there's no R&D involved.
It's a batch job. Ah, I see it mentions runuser, will check it.
I might intuit that 'request batching' could be benefit http/2 but probably not what they were thinking about. And you'd have to have a lot of simultaneous http requests for it to help at all.

But I'm with you on trying to batch this with your JS should not be a browser thing or even a built in standard library JS function.

One could do it themselves - maybe graphQl kind of this idea of more complex queries + maybe just throw the requests you want to make into an array and when it hits length = 5 send them all at once. But I don't see how that would help response times at all.
I make the same argument and people don't get it. We are so brainwashed about the whole health insurance thing in America. Get rid of insurance middleman in EVERYTHING and see how prices drop.
Burry (fund manager who Bale played in the Big Short) is the one who put this trade on most people's radar months ago.

Sorry to hear about your startup.

Translating between natural language and SQL is a reasonable idea. I was thinking about this as well, but I didn’t try anything as I don’t have an ML background. I spent some time looking at the SQL side of the problem, and it seemed quite a rabbit hole.

If you do manage to get it working up to a point where it’s usable by the average person, you can take it one step further: auto generate simple apps or websites in a no-code product.

This might bring some hate from the dev community as we are automating ourselves out of a job, but it would be a pretty impressive product if it worked.
Quite the contrary, I consider it a good thing that someone is helping out those companies that gitlab is giving up.
Thanks for sharing that Dwarf Fortress file, I never thought about the structure for all those attributes.
Yes, I am pretty pro WSB just like chamath. I think he is wrong about the "research" that is happening though. There is a bull case but not a $25 bil mkt cap one.
Sure it is if it's a legal transaction, I'm really not sure why it's so difficult to understand.

The problem here is that many of you are projecting your own brand of morals on these deals, and many people may not share that perspective.
EA is at $0.31 a kw in California, just slightly cheaper than Superchargers in California which are slightly above the national average.
Yes, absolutely. Version 1.5 brought significantly faster precompilation and version 1.6 (currently in beta) brings some precompilation speed improvements on top of that as well as multithreaded precompilation, so things have improved a ton in that regard.

We're expecting more benefits down the pipe as well with better AOT compilation support so you don't have to redo compilation so much between sessions.

Compilation and precompilation latency have been the two most consistent focuses of the developer team over the past couple years.
...Great, thanks for checking in.
Crypto miner attack involving RinBot’s server, a popular Discord bot
>You don't need a law to tell the difference from right and wrong and nothing is as simple as electing the right person to make things right again.

A business that tries to do the "right" thing in a system that allows everyone else to do the "wrong" thing, will not survive.

Is it wrong to not offer a new mother sufficient time to bond with her newborn and breastfeed her newborn for a minimum year per the recommendation of medical research? Yet almost no employers in the US, and especially no employers of lower paid workers can afford to give a mother proper time for maternity leave or to pump breastmilk. The margins are so cutthroat that the business would not exist anymore.

I'm not saying this is comparable to IKEA's tax avoidance, or that IKEA would cease to exist if it didn't do what it was doing. But almost all businesses are doing the "wrong" thing, some more than others, but I won't blame them if they're playing within the rules.

However, if IKEA is then using its proceeds to lobby politicians to continue the existence of a tax code that allows it to steal from society, I do consider that morally repugnant and would judge IKEA negatively for that.

In my new mother not being able to breastfeed scenario, I'm not going to blame the individual business for only giving 15 min of break time. I'm going to blame the government, which only forced employers to give 15 minute breaks for pumping milk, which anyone who has ever pumped milk would tell you is an impossibly short time to travel to the break room, setup supplies, pump milk, store it, and go back to work.

I myself take advantage of various tax loopholes, such as the 1031 tax exchange. However, I use it to keep up with my competition, and further, I contribute and lobby those who I can to remove these tax loopholes.

The vast webrtc traffic is in reality between a peer and a sfu (selective forwarding unit) on a server. There is almost none real p2p webrtc traffic happening in reality because most people don‘t have enough upload bandwidth to transmit their video to all participating peers.
Launch HN: SignAuth – A auth protocol bases on ed25519 high-security signatures
I built in 2006 the first Host-proof Hosting Online Password Manager, Passpack (it still exists, but I sold it in 2013). I am fascinated by security and obsessed with details.

Any major web service sends your password to their server in plain text. Only when the service receives the password, it derivates it and saves it in the database. What happens is a smart employee puts a backdoor at the beginning of the flow and steal your password? I worked in many large companies, and security is not what they would pretend it is. So, at the end of November, I decided to try a different authentication approach, using ED25519 Elliptic Curve. It took my one day to build the library, because I reused a library that I wrote for Secrez.

After using it for two months without having problems, I think it is time to talk about it.

If you visit https://signauth.cc you can find a brief introduction to the protocol, and you can see how it works.

The code is open-source at https://github.com/signauth, and there is also an Express-react boilerplate.

Any comment, opinion, suggestion, or critic is very welcomed.
Any specific problems you recall?
Nitpicking, but I think you're referring to The Big Short rather than Moneyball.
Can we now get support for it in Safari WebView on iOS?
My uncle used to joke that his car ran better in the mountains because the air was cleaner and thus had more oxygen. He was not serious, but in case of cold air there would be more oxygen per unit volume due to density so that might improve the combustion.
He's a major investor in my company, and can 100% attest that's true. What's most astonishing about him is how responsive he is even two years after making that investment. He must have so many companies and he's still always showing up and encouraging and providing value. He's pretty direct when he thinks we are doing the wrong things, but that's always appreciated. His super power is handling all that over email (mostly).
Whilst most of Wall street may like this, I'd guess there's at least some parts (the hedge funds with large short positions in GME) who aren't having a good time today.
You mean 'The Big Short', Moneyball is about baseball. ;)
> Yes, but retail is going to get destroyed in the end.

Mainly because they're playing with their own money, while the hedgefunds are playing with House's Money.
Perhaps this standard allows specifying the BSSID instead, somehow?
In what market are LVNs making $40/hr?
Same for me but with graphic design.

Then I discovered coding and it's a perfect escape to fire up a side project and tinker in the evenings rather than have to think about the Adobe software suite.

Whilst coding and graphic design / visual communication are completely different things – both skills supplement each other. I imagine I have a bit of an edge when it comes to UI and UX design, and knowing the fundamentals of various languages also adds a lot of value at work when it comes to collaborating with technical staff.

I'd recommend branching out a bit at home and finding something that tests you (mentally or physically) in a completely different way to your day-to-day responsibilities. If you're lucky you might find a hobby that is different enough to your day job to be engaging and fun but also have just enough overlap to benefit you professionally.
The quality is such a big differentiator. In my household we have a mix of IKEA furniture and flat-pack stuff from other vendors (the Brick, Wayfair, etc), and IKEA is so much better on all fronts— the materials are thicker and tougher, the fasteners are larger and stronger, the designs are better thought out and easier to assemble; there's just no comparison.
Latches can be reset; so bad metaphor on that count also.

Something that triggers, flips state and cannot be reset might be called a "fuse".

That could work here in another way: since there is a count-down, that's like a dynamite fuse burning.
You and I both now the bans went further than people calling for violence and pushing conspiracies.

"Today, the free frontier lays in ruins. Walled gardens dominate the landscape, with people trapped behind walls and under watch.

Taking Back Control

Is this how the Internet ends? Or will people find a way to take back control?

Breaking Free

With the right tools, people can break free of the parks and escape the walled gardens.

A Better Future

They could reclaim their rightful ownership of the frontier, and rebuild stronger, more independent communities, even better than before.

Free Communities

Liberated from control, they could express themselves freely, collaborate on decisions, and determine their own future.

Back Home

The frontier could finally regrow into a dynamic world of diverse, prosperous, and independent online communities."
It is unnatural and insane. You shouldn’t be able to short a stock that much to the point to can destabilize the whole financial system. The ripple effects can be really severe because the shorts are going to lose an unbelievable amount of money and will likely be bailed out somehow due to the ripple effects.

What does the existence of a salamander "say"?
>Can you give management a single good reason to waste hours of time migrating away from a working product because you’re disappointed?

For a 1000 person org the reason is $240k/year. Can pay for a decent number hours of migration especially over an expected 10 year contract duration. And if you happen to need the top tier features than that'd be $1.2million/year in savings.
You write the laws to apply to companies but not private citizens. A major owner of a pharma company could still lobby privately as themselves, but at least they'd be paying taxes on that expense rather than having it hidden as a corporate writeoff.

(And before anyone chimes in with "but corporations are just groups of private citizens" - they're explicitly not. Corporations are fundamentally defined by having a charter from the government to reduce the owners' liability, and thus we would expect them to incur additional regulations)
I spent over a 100 hours working through MOOCs and video tutorials over the past month only to find out that all I would learn at the end would be the basics that wouldn't really be help if someone asked me to 'go build'. I'd have the same feeling even after completing an advanced level course.

What we need are technical MOOCs that discuss what decisions to make when approaching a problem, evaluating trade-offs, what are the common practices you'd come across in a production environment and where the concept you learned fits in the big picture.

I haven't found any MOOC that talks about the above in depth for web dev and the only youtuber I found who talks about this is TechLead but he mostly puts out 10 minute clips instead of complete tutorials.

I've gone back to books and I'm learning much more per time spent studying something.
Though if this is a peat fire the water in the peat may have partially evacuated during the freezing process - I'm not so certain that the volume needing to be sent from ice -> water -> vapor would take more energy than the larger volume sent from water -> vapor... I really have no knowledge of ratios here but there are at least some processes working against increasing the amount of energy that needs to be expended to heat the surrounds.

Additionally, if this fire is mostly underground then it's likely that you've got some oven action going on where a lot of the heat produced by the fire isn't just whisked away by air to dissipate to nothingness - instead it's trapped by the insulation of earth and being converted into phase changes more efficiently.
You can still help improve and contribute to FreePascal and Lazarus on that case.

Googling a bit suggests it was introduced in hdmi 1.2 and updated in 1.3 - thinking about this it’s possible cable or TV version has impact on your functionality - E.g Kodi sending a newer CEC command because your cable says it’s fine but the tv cannot process (this is purely a guess btw, but I’ve seen dumber things). You might be able to find some cli tools that help troubleshoot, but yeah, not an expert here.

I've been hearing about ECS for a decade so it's definitely more then flavor of the month. However the issue is that unfortunately Unreal/Unity are both OO first.
Yes, but some of them also manage funds that are people from Mainstreet's retirements.

So while, yeah fun to stick it to the wealthy elite, I feel the law of unintended consequences is going to rear it's head much like crash of the housing market in 2007.
Nice, $GME the fuck out of big pharma
Ah, I see. I had completely forgotten editing comments was possible.

Apologies.
The forced resolution will be to force the shorts to cover. Screwing people that took the other side of the trade because the short sellers screwed up doesn't really make any sense to me.
There is a massive difference between Tesla and GameStop. The latter is not flush with cash, but rather hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. Their revenue has been declining every quarter. There is no long term business plan, the digital game sales space is already too crowded. It will be a miracle if they can manage to turn around.
I see it being simplified the same way phones and cars have been simplified. These are very complex systems with simple interfaces and well understood failure modes.

If your call doesn't go through you check how many "bars" you have. If you have enough reboot. If it still doesn't work take it to a store.

If your car fails it displays a light. Check the manual or take it/have it towed to a shop.

There are annoyances but we know what to do.

The problem is that DNS was designed for developers. That's fine but we need an interface for the average Joe to own a domain name. Yes there will be challenges and tradeoffs, but we can sure do a lot better than where we are.
So you think GameStop shares are genuinely worth $375? GameStop traded around $20 a share for the past couple of years. You think that right now the company is worth almost 20 times what it was worth two years ago?
They still haven’t updated their apps since the privacy labels. Went from 3+ updates per month to 0 updates in almost two.
Even if the tax structure they're using enables them to hire more employees so those employees can survive more comfortably?
Let me put it this way, if someone bought GME over the last few days and sold it at 3x what they paid, what fraction of that gain (on average) came from a hedge fund covering a short vs. from another retail investor buying in? The assumption seems to be that it comes purely from a short cover but that’s not at all obvious to me.
From the original title, i thought the company was called “Transparent”.

That would have been a better name than this long name.
It's not like this is the first time a short squeeze has happened. Has the SEC stepped in for other squeezes? If they were gonna step in, it should have been when naked shorting was occurring, not now.

Ok what's your point? Legally the adult age is 18 in most states. If you want to argue changing what legal age is that's fine but it doesn't really have anything to do with the main point of my comment. Additionally, this study specifically shows it harms adolescents.

If you're going to apply laws that strip rights away from people you have to have a cutoff somewhere. Unless you're suggesting a blanket ban on social media for everyone.....
I am confident enough in my general knowledge that I can be interested in an article on a thing that I can rationally explain but never imagined independently. It's interesting that this fire is happening in blisteringly cold temperatures which is against my intuition as a being that feels like 110F is pretty hot and 40F is pretty cold.
I think it largely spilled over at this point, it's been mentioned in every mainstream media around the globe, and I'd assume there's a lot of FOMO going on.

While it's likely that some of the wsb crowd plays it yolo style and doesn't care (it's for the lulz), I don't think the people who invest because they saw it on mainstream media will see it that way.
Nonsense. Everything been a dictionary is incredibly important.
OOP also works well when you want different _behavior_. In your bag of functions you have the same behavior for all objects. If you want different behavior, you're going to have to start adding branches in code that really has no business making those branch decisions.
